      Slightly more than half of Florida voted for him to be governor, and it was clear he was a piece of shit then.

        4.6 million out of 21 almost 22 million.

        ~21% of the state of Florida.

        More than half the state didn’t even vote. (Not saying that’s better)

        Slightly more than half of the people who Florida allows to vote you mean.

        With gerrymandering coupled with voter suppression, it’s easy to keep power in a state. You pack all the blue voters into as tiny of an area as possible, then make sure they get fewer voting machines and longer lines. This gets you fewer blue voters overall. Tie in a few other tactics, and you have yourself a solid republican majority in what should be a swing state.

        Got to purge those voter rolls every chance you get, but only in the cities. You wouldn’t want to accidentally purge a likely republican voter.

          Relatively. There’s a reason they keep putting new suppression measures in place. They’re serious about holding on to power because they know that if the lose just once, Democrats will be in a position to undo all the suppression they put in place.

          Of course, whether Democrats will actually undo suppression once they have an opportunity depends on if they would be willing to return rights to the people even if it means slightly transgressing upon whatever Republicans call decorum.

            Dems need to suck it up and fix the system even if it means sometimes losing power, if it is only temporary. Ranked choice voting, nonpartisan redistricting, in the state constitution.

              Even if it sometimes means wielding power.
